A group photo of devotees posing in a courtyard with a red-painted wall and a stone pillar, with small string lights hanging above. A man on the left wears a white dhoti with a gold border, bare-chested, with a long braid and tripundra markings on his forehead, holding a decorated silver tray with a floral arrangement and red flowers. Beside him an older woman in a maroon sari holds a long red garland of flowers. Several women stand in a row in saris of orange, teal, red and cream, several with white tripundra markings and rudraksha malas. Greenery sits at the lower right edge.

Four young women stand smiling together outdoors in front of a red wall. From left: a woman in a mustard-yellow saree with gold embroidered border and braided hair, a woman in teal saree with gold zari border and long loose hair wearing a rudraksha mala, a woman in red saree and red blouse with rudraksha mala and long dark hair, and a woman in cream and beige saree with a long rudraksha mala and white vibhuti marks on the forehead. A partly visible woman stands at the far left edge, and a red-garlanded flower string is held at the left edge. Several other people are partly visible at the edges.

A procession of women in saris and devotees in saffron and white stands in a line on a stone-paved courtyard beside a red-painted temple wall, hands pressed together in namaskar. The woman at centre-left in an orange-red sari holds a decorated silver-and-red floral offering tray with garlands. Beside her a young man in saffron with a rudraksha mala and forehead tilak holds a tray, and to the right a drummer in white dhoti and bare chest plays a red drum. A striped umbrella and palm-leaf decorations stand behind, with more devotees in orange and red further along the row.

A photograph of a line of devotees standing outdoors in front of a red-painted building and greenery, all with hands pressed together in anjali mudra. The central woman in front wears a cream and gold-bordered sari, a dark rudraksha mala around her neck, and a bindi with a white forehead mark. Women behind her wear orange and rust-red saris with white vibhuti on their foreheads. Several are wearing glasses. A stringed garland of yellow and red flowers hangs on a pillar at left, and a blue patterned cloth lies at right. No swami is visible in the frame.

Evening outdoor procession at a building with warm lights and trees. A central man in a rust-red robe wears a large white flower garland, a heavy golden necklace with a central pendant, a brown rudraksha mala, and a red bindi; his long hair is swept back. Around him, young men and women in white and cream traditional dress with gold borders walk with rudraksha malas, and one young man in orange robes with a tilak and mala stands at right. A young man at left carries a long white staff. Some attendants hold colourful cloth or flower garlands.

Indoor photograph in a hallway with red curtains and a wall-mounted air conditioner. A bald man with white forehead markings and a red bindi wears an orange-saffron shawl over a white garment and a thick gold ceremonial necklace with a small framed portrait pendant. Beside him a bride in a hot pink sari with gold jewellery, jasmine in her hair and bangles, smiles while holding flowers. Several women in colourful silk saris, including a teal and magenta one and a green and gold one, stand around them, and a child stands at left. Whether the man in orange is a person cannot be established from appearance alone, so the identity is left uncertain.
